Just a note on Savage rifles, they may not be pretty, but because of how they make their barrels, how they mount their barrels, and the construction of the bolt head ect, they are one of the most accurate rifles you can buy... the $300 gun you are looking at will most likely, with good ammo and so practice, out shoot rifles that cost 3-5x as much.

BUY IT lol
If you don't like the scope you can always change it out at a later date....
